Natural laminar flow design has been applied to the next generation of subsonic aircraft, which are expected entry into service in the 2020s, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is one of the Sustainable Development Goals. The natural laminar flow wing design was applied to highly swept wings, such as the main wing and the vertical tail plane of TRA2022, which is defined as a 120-pax technical reference aircraft in subsonic aircraft research of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. An automatic inverse design system with inverse problem design tools and flow solvers outside of the system was developed. A natural laminar flow design was carried out more efficiently with the help of various innovations. A natural laminar flow design was successfully achieved for not only the main wing but also the vertical tail plane. In both cases, the laminar flow region was extended by more than 20% in the area. This result shows that the natural laminar flow wing design technology of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is effective for highly swept wings. The objective of the natural laminar flow wing design of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has been achieved.
